Hi, the headlamp washers on my dads E39 seems to have stopped working all of a sudden. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks. ------------- 1991 E30 320i Convertible |

Have you checked the fuse? When you wash can you hear the motor for the headlight washer? ------------- E30 325i sport 1991 E34 530i auto 1989 E39 535i 18"s 1997

No I can't hear the motor for the headlight washer. If it was the fuse would it stop other things working too? ------------- 1991 E30 320i Convertible |

I think there may be a fuse just for the headlamp washers. I read recently a lot of people take it out because they dont want the water splashing up on their bonnet so it mustn't affect anything else. I think its fuse 2 in the glovebox. ------------- E30 325i sport 1991 E34 530i auto 1989 E39 535i 18"s 1997

My Dad has just read the handbook and has found out that the headlight washer only works with the lights on! ------------- 1991 E30 320i Convertible |
